Chapter 243: Wang Yan's Worries
On the ninth match day of the 2017 U.S. Open, the men's and women's singles quarterfinals in the lower half of the draw table were in full swing. These four matches, which have attracted the attention of countless tennis fans around the world, were all arranged in the first center court of the US Open - Arthur Ashe Court.
As the largest tennis court in the world, Arthur Ashe Court has a capacity of 22,000 spectators, and is undoubtedly the highest temple in the hearts of all professional tennis players. I don't know how many players feel extremely honored to be able to play on the center court of the US Open.
On this day's game, three American men's and women's singles players played in the four singles matches, so they attracted the attention of American fans. Among them, the strong dialogue between the No. 9 seed David and the No. 13 seed Kvitova of the Czech Republic, the old and new generations of grass queens, has touched the hearts of countless American tennis fans.
Of course, what worries all American fans the most is the controversial men's singles battle between China and the United States. After the frenzied rhythm of the American media in the past two days, almost all Americans are eagerly waiting for the local darling Quirrey to teach the Chinese liar a good lesson with his cannonball-like serve.
Unlike the French Open and Wimbledon, both the US Open and the Australian Open feature night matches. And because of the special viewing habits of the Americans, the more closely watched the game will be scheduled to play. Therefore, there was no suspense, and the match between Panci and Querey was scheduled for the finale of the day, immediately after the match of Dawei.
One of the benefits of this is that Pansic, who needs to play two games on this day, finally does not have to worry about the short interval between the two games. For him, as long as he can guarantee more than two hours of rest between games, it will be enough for him to recover his fitness. If it really doesn't work, aren't there still four first aid capsules that haven't been used?
However, without physical worries, Panci almost failed to complete the quarterfinals of the mixed doubles. Not for anything else, just because his mixed doubles partner Wang Chang suddenly proposed before the match that he wanted to withdraw from this match.
"Are you crazy? Haven't we all reached the quarterfinals, why do you suddenly want to retire? Pan Xiqi asked Wang Yan in confusion.
"Don't ask so much, I just don't want to fight anyway." Lowering her head, Wang Yan replied in a low voice.
"No, there must be other reasons for you to be like this. If you don't give me a reason to convince me today, we're going to keep playing no matter what! Pan Xiqi could see that this was not what Wang Yan really thought.
Unexpectedly, Pan Xiqi's attitude was so firm, and Wang Yan was a little panicked for a while. Looking at Pan Xiqi, Wang Yan's two big black and translucent eyes were full of guilt, and there was a little distress during the period.
After a while, seeing that Pan Xiqi still didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, Wang Yan finally pursed her mouth and said quietly: "Listen to me, it's better to retire, otherwise it will be like that day, and you will lose your physical strength when you are singles, and it will be a big deal." ”
"Haha, you've finally told the real reason. I knew you must be worried about this. Fool, if you are so worried, why didn't you say it in the last round, but waited until now to say it? Pansiqi asked in a low voice.
"Hey, how can that be the same. In the last round, I had no idea what a dangerous situation you were facing, and I thought you should be fine. It wasn't until I watched your press conference that I knew what was going on. It's all my fault, if I didn't compete in the mixed doubles tournament with you, I wouldn't have let you run out of energy and cause you such a big problem now. As she spoke, a mist appeared in Wang Yan's eyes, which made people feel very distressed.
It turned out that during the third round match between Pansiqi and Churic, Wang Chang did not know much about Pansiqi's match because she was also in a hurry to participate in the next women's doubles match. Although he was worried about Pansiqi's physical condition, after the game, when he heard Pansiqi's three-set sweep score, he thought that it would not have much impact.
It wasn't until Pan Xiqi advanced to the quarterfinals that Wang Chang learned the real situation from various media reports about the press conference. After watching the video of Pan Xiqi's game at that time, Wang Chang, who is also a professional player, clearly saw that Pan Xiqi's abnormal performance in the first two sets was obviously affected by the previous mixed doubles.
Although she didn't know very well why Pan Xiqi had such an amazing change in the future, just Pan Xiqi's performance when she was suppressed had already made Wang Yan regret it. As a professional footballer, she knows best how important singles matches are to players. In order to ensure that there is enough energy and stamina in singles, many players will not hesitate to choose to give up doubles, let alone the more inconsequential mixed doubles.
If Pan Xiqi really lost the singles because of the mixed doubles match with himself at that time, then Wang Chang would definitely not forgive herself. Therefore, after learning the whole truth, Wang Yan asked Pan Xiqi to withdraw from the competition.
"But the truth is that I wasn't affected in any way, everything went well. Don't worry, I want doubles, mixed doubles, and singles! Anyway, I'll take care of it all. Holding Wang Yan's shoulders with both hands, Pan Xiqi said firmly.
Somewhat embarrassed by Pan Xiqi's tender eyes, a hint of blush quickly appeared on Wang Yan's cheeks. Dodging Pan Xiqi's eyes, Wang Yan said in a somewhat expectant tone: "But this next singles match is of great significance, even if it will have a little bad impact on you, I am not willing to bear such a loss." That Yankee, who actually said that about you, you will defeat him no matter what, even if it is for me! ”
"Hehe, hey, I'll take care of him. I promise you that if you feel that there is a problem, you will be the first to tell you and withdraw from the mixed doubles competition. But now, I feel so good that I can't wait to play with you. Don't you want to win the mixed doubles title? Pansic said jokingly.
Seeing that Pan Xiqi couldn't be convinced, Wang Yan had no choice but to sigh and reluctantly agree. However, it can be seen that Wang Chang is still quite reluctant to give up the game before making the decision to give up the game. After all, she has no hope of a singles Grand Slam, and if she can win the mixed doubles championship, it will be in vain.
Looking at the smile that appeared in Wang Yan's eyes, Pan Xiqi couldn't help but feel warm in his heart. It can be seen that this girl is willing to give up her future for fear of affecting her grades. Such a woman is destined to be a woman who will let him Pan Xiqi protect for the rest of his life.
